Numerous experts say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I mostly enjoy the main ingredients of the classic English breakfast which include eggs, sausage, and some bread or toast. Aside from those, I like to incorporate some cheese as well.
Until recently, I enjoyed all these ingredients separately. However, that was before I learned the recipe that perfectly combines them into quick and easy muffins which satisfy my palate almost every morning since then.
Since I don’t want to be selfish, I decided to share that amazing recipe for sausage breakfast muffins with you too.

Ingredients That Make These Tasty Muffins
For this recipe, you’ll need a few simple ingredients that are likely already sitting in your fridge or pantry. The best part? You don’t need to worry about fancy seasonings or complicated measurements.
• 1 pound of breakfast sausage: The heart of the dish. You can use either regular or lean sausage, depending on your preference. I prefer regular sausage for a juicier, richer flavor.
• 4 eggs: Eggs provide the base and bind everything together, creating a light and fluffy texture in each muffin.
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice): Cheese adds both flavor and richness. Cheddar pairs particularly well with sausage, but feel free to use your favorite cheese for a personal twist.
• 1 cup Bisquick: The secret to these muffins is Bisquick, which helps create a soft, muffin-like consistency. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can substitute with self-rising flour, but Bisquick gives the best result.
• Salt and pepper: Just a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the sausage and eggs. You can adjust this based on your personal taste.
Instructions
1. Preheat and Grease: Set your oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray, then set it aside.
2. Cook the Sausage: Break the sausage into pieces and cook it in a skillet over medium-high heat until it’s fully browned. Drain the fat, then let the sausage cool slightly.
3. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until just combined.
4. Combine Everything: Mix in the shredded cheese, Bisquick, and cooked sausage, stirring until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
5. Fill the Muffin Pan: Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to leave room for them to rise.
6. Bake, Serve, Enjoy: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown. After they cool down a bit, serve and enjoy!
And there you have it — quickie, easy, and what is most important, irresistibly delicious breakfast muffins that will give you the needed energy for the rest of the day.
You can eat them all at once if you want, or you can store them in the fridge and enjoy them for the next three days.
What to Serve with Your Muffins
These sausage breakfast muffins are hearty and satisfying on their own, but pairing them with the right sides can elevate your breakfast game. Try serving them alongside a fresh fruit salad, some crispy bacon, or a light green salad to balance the richness of the muffins.
A warm cup of coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice will make for the perfect breakfast spread!
Storing Your Sausage Breakfast Muffins for Later
If you find yourself with leftovers or want to prepare these delicious muffins ahead of time, storing them is easy! Simply allow the muffins to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container.
You can store them in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, or for longer storage, freeze them. To freeze, wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or foil, and then place them in a resealable freezer bag.
When you’re ready to enjoy them again, just pop them in the microwave or heat them in the oven for a few minutes until warmed through. This way, you can have a quick, satisfying breakfast ready at any time!
And there you have it. Besides being wonderfully delicious, these muffins are also very flexible when you know how to store them, so you can serve and enjoy them whenever you want.
